Additional notes

Our site is ideally situated for peace, away from the tourism side of the island. However only 20 minutes away(by car) to the sandy beaches of Sandown/ Shanklin. Public transport its only a 5 min walk from the camp site. Isle of Wight scout groups now have a special offer for any groups camping on island to sail with'Wightlink' ferries for 2009. Still some weeks/weekends available for summer/winter period

Additional notes

Hall is ideally suited for Groups wishing to use adjacent Water Activities Centres on a self catering basis or as a base for exploring the Isle of Wight. There is a grassed area at rear of the hall suitable for up to 2 patrol tents or for games, barbeques etc.
